We want to help you make your job search as productive as possible. But as is probably becoming evident, the job search is rarely, if ever, a quick and easy process. It can be stressful even for those who have a clear idea of what they want to do, where they want to do it, and for whom. And for international students, there are additional issues to overcome.

It can be complicated . . .

There are both legal and cultural barriers involved in international students’ job searches. Visa and work authorization processes can be complicated and the cultural differences in resumes, interviews, and other aspects of the search can be unsettling. It can also be difficult to look for a job in your home country from hundreds or thousands of miles away!

. . . but we can help

To help meet the particular needs of international students, MSU’s Career Services Network has partnered with MSU’s Office for International Students and Scholars to provide centralized online resources.
